    Wild Boar Ribs w/ upcoming Qview

    I think it has something to do with the testosterone leaching into the meat, but I'm no expert by any means. I do know that the sow that was gamey still had some milk from nursing even though her piglets seemed to be weaned and my theory is that the extra hormones are what made her gamey. I see...

    Wild Boar Ribs w/ upcoming Qview

    I'm an avid pig hunter and I've eaten everything from the small sows to medium boars, and the only one that was the least bit gamey was a 150 lb sow. The trick is to get to the animal quickly after death and castrate the boar. That seems to solve the problem. By nature the wild pigs are going...

    Pork Roast

    I getting very close to my target weight and I am going to be able to use my smoker for things other than veggies and eggs. My first smoke I think is going to be a bone-in pork roast from the hind quarter of a wild hog I harvested. I plan to slice the meat. This cut of meat tends to be a...

    I had no idea what the heck scrapple was!!! It sounds interesting I think I'll put it on my list of things to try. Thanks Cowgirl for the detailed process.

    Frog Legs and Jalapeno bacon Wrapped Dove

    I love frog legs. Here you can find them many places, but I've only had them fried. I think that's one I'm gonna try soon!!

    You can do either. I just leave it in the cabinet. I have some up there that has been there for a few years and I used it as recently as yesterday. It was really good and hot!!!!

    I just tried my pepper vinegar and I was really happy with the way it turned out. I broke it open a little early, but it seems that the smoking of the peppers helped the flavor infuse in the vinegar more quickly and really brought out the sweetness. I would recommend smoking the peppers first!

    Thank You. I'll let you know how it turns out as soon as I do. If the bell peppers I smoked the same day are any indication, the vinegar will be outstanding!!

    I hear ya!! I think you'll like it especially once it ages. Patients is the key with this. You have to let it sit before it gets really good. I made it once before with habeneros and I was surprised to find that the peppers gave the vinegar a slightly sweet taste. Don't get me wrong the...

    trying something new w/Q-view

    I just leave them in the jar and keep refilling it with warm vinegar. I keep them until the acidity of the vinegar finally dissolves them. I've had them last for years in the cabinet. Keep in mind guys that this is the first time I've smoked the peppers first, this is completely experimental...

    brick bbq

    Don't know much about it, but I've seen people build smokers out of old refridgerators, so I see no reason why you couldn't build one from bricks. I'm sure controlling the temps would be different than a steel smoker because of the insulating properties of brick. I have seen someone build a...

    Okay, I put the peppers in the jars, heated up the vinegar, poured it in the jars and sealed them. Now it's "hurry up and wait".

    trying something new w/Q-view

    I just put them in whole. It's more about the flavored vinegar than about the peppers themselves. I don't know a whole lot about making hot sauce. I know the tobasco brand is fairly simple in process. You mash it up, add vinegar, and put it in white oak barrels topped with salt for a few...

    trying something new w/Q-view

    Well, after an hour it looked like the peppers were done, so i pulled them off. Making the vinegar is easy. If you don't want to smoke the peppers it's even easier. buy whatever peppers you want to use and make sure they're clean. If you want you could cut them in half, but I just leave them...
